Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mirror of Eris (End)!
The next morning, the snow had not yet melted.
"Want to play chess?" Ron asked.
"I don't want to." Harry said.
"Why don't we go down and see Hagrid?"
"Don't go...... There you go......"
"I know what you're thinking, Harry, you're thinking about that mirror. Don't go again tonight. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know. I just had a very bad feeling -- and besides, you've gotten away so many times. Filch, Snape, and Lady Loris were wandering around. What if they see you? What if they bump into you? ”
"You speak like Hermione."
"I'm not kidding, Harry, don't go."
But there was only one thought on Harry's mind, and that was to go back to the mirror. Ron couldn't stop him.
Liu Jiecao didn't participate in the matter of looking at the magic mirror at all on the surface, so he naturally couldn't express his opinion in front of the two.
By the third night, Harry was already familiar with the road. He walked as fast as he could, not realizing that he was making a loud noise, but he didn't meet anyone.
Liu Jiecao continued to broadcast live this time, and he and his friends have been waiting for that opportunity to appear.
Ah, Harry's mom and dad were smiling at him again, and one of his grandpas was nodding happily. Harry sat on the floor in front of the mirror. He's going to stay here all night, with his family, and nothing can stop him. Nothing! Unless—"So to speak—you're here again, Harry? ”
Liu Jiecao and his little friends' eyes lit up, knowing that it was alive.
Harry felt his internal organs freeze to ice. He looked behind him. Sitting at a table by the wall was none other than Albus. Dumbledore. Harry must have walked straight past him. He was in such a hurry to look in the mirror that he didn't notice him at all.
Liu Jiecao knew the original plot for a long time, and also knew that Harry was able to come here because he was originally arranged by Dumbledore and was guided over intentionally or unintentionally.
Right now. Dumbledore's appearance was actually a signal.
"I—I didn't see you, sir."
"It's strange that you became short-sighted after becoming invisible." Dumbledore said. Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on his face.
"So to speak." Dumbledore said, sliding off the table and sitting on the floor with Harry. "You, like the thousands of people before you, have already manifested the pleasure of the Mirror of Eris."
"I don't know what it's called, sir."
"But I'm guessing you know its magic by now, right?"
"It's- oh - makes me see my family—"
"And make your friend Ron see himself as the president of the boys' student council."
"How do you know—"
"I don't have to be invisible." Dumbledore said gently, "So, can you think about what the Mirror of Eris has shown us all?" ”
Harry shook his head.
"Let me explain. The happiest people in the world can use the Mirror of Eris as if it were an ordinary mirror. In other words, what he sees in the mirror is what he looks like. Got something? ”
Harry was thinking. Then he said slowly, "The mirror allows us to see what we want...... Whatever we wanted......"
"Yes and no." Dumbledore said softly, "It makes us see only the deepest and strongest desires of our hearts." You've never seen your family, so you see them standing around you. Ron. Weasley had been dwarfed by his older brothers, so he saw himself standing alone, the best of them all. However. This mirror can neither teach us knowledge nor tell us the truth. People spend their days in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven insane, because they don't know if the qiē in the mirror is real and if it is possible. ”
"Tomorrow the mirror will be moving to a new place, Harry, and I ask you not to look for it again. If you happen to see it one day, you have to be prepared. Indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life. This is useless, remember. All right; Why don't you put on that wonderful cloak of invisibility and go back to sleep? ”
Liu Jiecao's face changed, knowing that he had made a mistake. He seems to have misremembered the plot, and he thought he would have another chance.
The faces of the three people from Earth are also not good-looking, and they are worse than Liu Jiecao's familiarity with the plot. Naturally, it is impossible to remember such details. Liu Jiecao made a mistake, and they also made a mistake together.
The Immortal Sect had already shown a disappointed expression, and he felt that there was no play. He knew that Dumbledore would take the mirror with him when Harry was gone.
Liu Jiecao is not thinking about this, he knows that he has a deviation in the memory of the plot, but didn't this world create it by himself? Why is there a deviation but it doesn't go on according to my own memory, but it seems to be based on the original plot?
It seems that there has never been such a situation in the previous world.
He thought about it, and he always felt that this matter was extremely important. Couldn't help but look at the three people from Earth.
The three of them may not have a clear memory of the plot, but the memory should still be in their brains, unlike Liu Jiecao, who seems to have completely misremembered. The three of them forgot at most......
In this way, the theories proposed by the photosphere in the past still have zài meaning? Can a fantasy world be supported by the perception of others? Even if the Creator is wrong, will he make up for it with the help of other people's memories?
At the beginning, the Youyou Baishu world almost collapsed, but it was only because of the cognitive addition of the white crow that it was supported and continued. Although Liu Jiecao's creation technology became stronger and stronger, and he no longer needed other people's cognition to join in to support the world, he still did not change this rule and still existed there.
The facts in front of us prove this, and what the Creator remembers is wrong, but it is made up for by others. Perhaps, this is also because of the relationship between the intervention of the Book of Creation, if there is no coordination of the Book of Creation, perhaps this kind of completion may not be able to save zài.
But. This is a matter for the future, and if you make a mistake in calculation, you will have to bear the result. Although his face was ugly, Liu Jiecao still decided to see the end.
Harry stood up.
"Sir- Professor Dumbledore? May I ask you a word? ”
"Needless to say, you just did that." Dumbledore smiled. "You can ask me one more question, though."
"What did you see when you looked in the magic mirror?"
"Me? I saw myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks. ”
Harry's eyes widened.
"There are never enough socks to wear." Dumbledore said, "Christmas came and went, and I didn't receive a pair of socks. People insisted on sending me books. ”
It wasn't until Harry got back to bed that it occurred to him that Dumbledore might not be telling the truth. But. When he pushed away the spots on the pillow, he thought: That's a problem involving **.
In this regard, Liu Jiecao really wanted to tell Harry that he would understand the truth in the future.
Perhaps, Dumbledore would have deceived and concealed Harry many times after that, but this time it was Dumbledore's rare truth.
The meaning represented by wool socks is family affection. This was the most precious thing Dumbledore had lost, and it was the greatest regret of his life, he could only see his loved ones in the magic mirror, and there would be no other exceptions.
Dumbledore convinced Harry to stop looking for the Mirror of Eris, so for the rest of the Christmas holidays, the Cloak of Invisibility was folded and placed at the bottom of the chest.
Because he is no longer needed for the time being. So when Liu Jiecao borrowed a day from him, he directly succeeded.
Liu Jiecao and the Immortal Sect, they haven't completely given up yet, even if the Eris Magic Mirror and the Philosopher's Stone in it can only take another risk, it is impossible to get another chance in front of them.
However, the Cloak of Invisibility is still one of the three holy relics of the Grim Reaper, and the great opportunity to take advantage of Harry's depression and not need to use the Cloak of Invisibility is enough to study, even if it is only for a day.
A day later. Combined with their respective analysis and research, combined with the data, they have been able to imitate the simplest invisibility cloak, of course, this is a one-time invisibility cloak with limited statute of limitations, and it has no effect. The original version of the Cloak of Invisibility only lasted ten minutes. And it might be detected by some magic, but as a good start, that's pretty good.
What's more, Liu Jiecao and the Immortal Sect can still continue to make technological progress, and the approximate number of the real invisibility cloak is already known, and now the problem is just a lack of technology, and it is impossible to conduct further analysis and research, and it is still possible to continue to work hard.
If it weren't for the use of the method of "making a wish", using Liu Jiecao's copied telekinesis ability "Wandering Scarlet Man", which can turn words into reality, even if the two join forces, it is impossible to completely record the number of invisibility cloaks.
For Liu Jiecao, although this invisibility cloak is only an illusory product in the outside world, but in the fantasy world, it is true to say that it is real, and it still needs to act according to the rules of this world, otherwise Liu Jiecao does not need to be so troublesome.
On the other hand, after returning the invisibility cloak, Liu Jiecao directly noticed that Harry's mental state had not improved.
Harry wished he could easily forget what he had seen in the Magic Mirror, but he couldn't. He began to have nightmares. Over and over again, he dreamed that his parents would disappear in a sudden flash of green light, and at the same time there was a loud sound quacking and laughing.
"You see, Dumbledore is right, the Magic Mirror might drive you crazy." When Harry told Ron and Liu Jiecao about these dreams, Ron said this.
And Liu Jiecao directly asked Harry to divert his attention, otherwise he would just continue to torture himself and would not be able to get relief.
Hermione came back the day before school started, and she saw it differently. She had mixed feelings, on the one hand, she was horrified that Harry had gotten out of bed and wandered around the school three nights in a row - "What if you get caught by Filch!" On the one hand, why Lilianicol. Lemay was deeply disappointed that he had not figured out who it was.
Even if she already knew that it was from Liu Jiecao, but under the premise of being banned, she couldn't take the initiative to remind the two of them.
